It had a gritty, salty taste, but it was also peculiarly effervescent. V2 was still very new at that point though, and it very well may be a good bit better now.

        Edit:
        That's too bad about Taboca. I won't miss it, other than the principle of losing a good snus, but Gotland Gul has a similar flavor, and one I prefer to Taboca. The metal cans sure were snazzy though.

        Edit2:
        Peach was another flavor. This is driving me nuts. I have 2 more to remember :^D I think the other 2 are coffee vanilla, and brandy Alexander, but I might be confusing them with later sets.
        Hot honey? What was that like... Did you have to use them warm or something to get the full effect?

          I just wish they'd bring Coffee/Vanilla Offroad back. I never got to try it.

            That would probably look like the cranberry portions they've been distributing all dried out in giant pouches. i don't know if this is a distributor issue or a production issue though so im not pointing fingers. It's amazing the difference in quality between their products Ive had some off road and thunder frosted portions that looked all big aand juicy and then I've had some stuff that looked like they were packing 1 gram portiions into maxi pouches. I've never had any V2 white portions though so I could be wrong. Anyone had the phantom whites any flavor? How are the portions?

            Also sucks that were losing another los variety...Its always a sad day when we lose another.

            But aside from what I've said above I look forward to trying the new coola thunder.. I just don't know about buying a roll of it off the bat. Ill probably be trying it once it isn't limited anymore.

              I have been unhappy with the V2 original portions for a while. I have had some, that were great, Thunder when dripping wet, was awesome, but it seems like they dry up, and you have bloated dryish big bags, and they are not so great.

              I did recently get some Phantom white classic, I wrote of it in the review section, and apart from 8 busted bags in the can, I thought it was decent.(not terrible, but not as good quality as the Swedish Match offereings)

                I had the opportunity to try the Offroad Coffee/Vanilla Thanks to PP and they are freakin' awesome... Sadly I just finished my last portion on New Years eve....

                See the exchange for PP I think he still has samples to try

                There was a thread around somewhere not too long ago and I think it was V2 if i'm not mistaken who posted that they will be bringing The coffee/Vanilla back somtime in 2011... Not sure if it will just be a limited edition, But There has been enough interest in it for V2 to comment about bringing it back... We shall see... I hope it will be soon... Love that stuff...

                    Check out the sticky: Welcome to everybody thread that one of the Voegel brothers at V2 started. He mentions that he will do another Coffee test run for us in 2011. Post there and let him know you will support the flavor if they take the time to get it to market.

                          Now that doesn't sound half bad at all, As a matter of fact that sounds like it would be really good... I like that idea too

                            I've had some busting bags lately too.

                            I've been happy with their original portions being more dry. In my opinion, they've been comparable to 01/02 and Long/Long Sterk. Moist, but not dripping. And I'm not a fan of the oozing snus portions. I applauded V2 for making this switch to the new portions.

                            Remember Mocca Machiatto? That stuff was good.

                                Man! I really wish they would release something like these for 2011.. That Choc Raspberry sounds really good...

                                  A genuine interest in snus is what led the brothers Marc and Patrick Vogel to launch V2 Tobacco in 2006. Production began on a small scale, but increased as a result of demand until the brothers outgrew their factory. ...
